Talia watched the beastman closely, trying to look for any signs that he was forcing himself.
There was none. He kept pulling the cart loaded with huge stones, circling the yard more than ten times.
At last, he stopped in front of Rosalic. His face was dry, not a drop of sweat on it. His eyes were wide with excitement.
Rosalie then said, “Now try lifting one stone by yourself.”
The stone was massive, easily close to a hundred pounds. When it hit the ground, it left a dent.
The beastman placed his hands on it and used all his strength. Sweat broke out on his forehead. Veins bulged on his arms, yet the stone did not move at all.
In the end, he had to give up and wipe his sweat.
“Talia, this stone is too heavy. I cannot lift it.”
When they looked back at Talia, she was already bursting with excitement. She no longer cared about appearances and grabbed Rosalie’s arm. “What is this thing?”
Rosalie explained the cart in detail. Talia could not stop smiling and kept repeating, “This is great. This is really great.
“With this, we will get through the chillwave for sure.”
Nearly 20 beastmen had come from Vaford. For better efficiency, Sovereign City sent 30 more.
These beastmen would help with transport. In return, Talia would pay them in rice, or silver if they did not want rice.
Now that manpower was settled, they still needed 50 carts. That was a big task.
From that moment on, Rosalie became very busy.
Talia led the Vaford beastmen away to arrange housing for them.
Rosalie stayed behind and started working. She had Declan cut and carry trees. Leon shaped the wood roughly, just like before. Then Rosalie refined and assembled each piece herself.
The steps were not hard, but the number was large. Even after working all morning, they could only finish about ten carts. The wheels were made later, once enough frames were ready.
After lunch, Leon insisted on carrying Rosalie to rest.
Rosalie felt tired too and took a nap.
When she woke up, she sat on the bed for a long while before getting up. Being in someone else’s home still felt unfamiliar.
